Forex trading live calls and set ups

[Mr Flibble]

Did anyone see that weird action on the EUR/USD flicking up and down 7-9 points again and again a few hours back? Was quite profitable but you had to have fast fingers. I thought EUR/USD may tank slightly as well as it broke from the recent pattern and failed to move up again. Any ideas?

I was too busy overeating at a family BBQ today! Since low volume produce no meaningful pattens on a 5m chart I am looking at a 1H chart tonight. Nice wedge looking pattern and we are still trending down on the daily chart so I took the trade shown (not live, about 15 minutes old at time I am posting this):

sh eurusd 1.2302 stop 1.2315, target 1.2275.

I don't often do this, but this is my set and forget trade. Probably fall asleep soon!

 

[wackypete2]

oh, boy...I am ON tonight!
exit eurusd +27
Take profit level was hit.

lol Im the same,I wake up and charge downstairs. I now only try to leave good trades running that are for free,but even then there are dreams and nightmares. I have come down to 150m pip profit before and no major loses so I dont know why I worry
